Sonu Nigam questions ‘forced religiousness’, gets slammed on twitter

Singer Sonu Nigam in a series of tweets has expressed his outrage on how following a religion in India is not by choice but by force. He wrote, “God bless everyone. I’m not a Muslim and I have to be woken up by the Azaan in the morning. When will this forced religiousness end in India.”

Explaining his stand further, Sonu Nigam went on to compare this with ‘Gundagardi’, “And by the way, Mohammed did not have electricity when he made Islam. Why do I have to have this cacophony after Edison? I don’t believe in any temple or gurudwara using electricity To wake up people who don’t follow the religion. Why then..? Honest? True? Gundagardi hai bus.”

Social media is known for being one of the noisiest places in the virtual world and to be honest sometimes they often turn too hilarious. Somehow in all the uproar, his namesake Sonu Sood too was dragged in. Many users got confused which Sonu had made the remark and tagged the actor instead of the singer, taking jibes at him. Few users also called for boycotting Sood’s films.
